You can create a [duplicate copy](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/etc/account/duplicating-an-app) of your app, and then customise that. Is that what you are looking for?

Not really.

Let say: I have my APP A and another APP B (template)  
From A I would like to create an APP B instance with ideally data base on specific sheet.

You can change the source sheet on any app if that’s what you are asking.

no ☹  
when you select a template you can then copy the template and it will come directly in your dashboard.

I wonder if I can do it directly from an app, instead of going to the dashboard, select the template, and then copy the template…

So you are trying to merge a template into an existing app?

I think he means he wants to trigger the duplication of App B from within App A
